I'm not a professional mechanic or carpenter. Like you, I love to research projects, watch a lot of TH-cam instructional videos and learn / experiment. My wife Stef has ZERO experience working on or maintaining a vehicle. She purchased her first project in 2022, a 1966 Mustang which led us to the "Stef Doin Stang Stuff" series here on the channel. In addition, our 6 year old son is able to test the waters with car projects and is quickly finding out that he has gasoline in his blood as well! We appreciate your patronage and support!

We were very lucky that no one was around besides me and that the car hit the corner of the gate post which caught it and kept it from flying into the neighbors that were standing in the alley with their own car issues!

Intoxicated boater argues with Security and the Police
We did the same thing, got a new carburetor installed ideal fine but when we the throttle is pulled the atv bogs down and stops any suggestions? Thinking maybe the jets are no good….
That was your biggest mistake was buying the same carb that came with the quad. They are junk and don't give enough air and fuel for the motor to run to full potential. No matter what you do it will always bog. You can adjust the air fuel it's just in the bowl. Cut rivets off add bolts. But it don't matter cuz it will always bog. I bought a bigger fully adjustable carb and my daughter's rips wheelies with me on it. No bogging
do i still push the break? i have to push and then put it into drive for it to start
Do you have to tune that carburetor after insulation?
Nope, it was good to go straight out of the box.
Geez that kid must be pretty strong to handle that so well even on rougher ground... cute too : )
He started young! Thank you! :)

Hopefully they went out of business very painfully. They recommended a plug for my 250 Kart engine. It promptly burnt a hole in the piston. They woudn't even consider that they'd made a mistake.
You should always check the reference color table for the center electrode when switching brands of spark plugs. ALWAYS. Sounds like it was too hot of a heat range for the application. If it's lighter color than "a brown paper bag" it's too hot of a heat range and needs to be switched out for a colder heat range. The cross over reference is not exact, it picks the closest heat range for most driving conditions. I used to sell them (auto parts store manger, 15 years) and have used them in several automobile engines, stock and modified as wells as 2 or 3 different motorcycle engines (2 and 4 cycle) without any problems. Everything I used them in either got better mileage, ran better or both.
Mine turns over but won’t start. I replaced the battery and spark plug. Maybe carburetor issue?
If it still had fuel and sat over the winter, probably so. The replacement carburetor is so inexpensive it's easier to just order a new one on Amazon or eBay than to clean it out. Try spraying starting fluid, if it acts like it's going to start, it's your carb, filter or a clogged line. Most new carbs come with all of the above for less than $20.
I got the taotao 110 for my kids. Started right out out the box and ran great. She doesn't like to ride it much in the winter and thats where i had issues. When its going to be parked for a while, i turn off the fuel and run the carb dry. I have found they are real difficult to start months later after that. They seem to flood real easy, which is what happened again today. I finally gave up. I loosened the drain screw on the carb and parked it. Ill try again in a few days. I did get it started initially, but turned the choke off too soon. I have finally learned my lesson and im not going to drain the carb anymore.
Yep, that's the way to go! I did the same thing.
Also check the solenoid, stator, voltage regulatory and lose wires. An loose wires to the safety brake on start up. Your welcome.

I have owned a 02 1800 R, 03 1800 R,now a 05 1800 F, VTX's r AWESOME n my humble opinion !!
I agree with you!
How could I tell if it’s just the battery needing to be charged I bought it early November haven’t used it had it in garage it’s a Christmas gift to my son today I went out to fire it up an don’t start just cranks but don’t turn over. And now it’s barely cranking any suggestions 3:41
It definitely wasn't the battery if it was cranking. With a dead battery it won't do anything. Put a battery charger on it and start from scratch. Make sure it has gas of course. If it's got fuel and the battery is back to full, next start following all the tips in the video. I know these quads can seem like a real pain & the lack of good instructions force us to rely on TH-cam videos but it's usually something simple and small like making sure the gas shut off valve is open or making sure the ignition switch is on. Both of those two things will cause it not to start while it's turning over and I show in the video where each is located. Good luck with it! You can do it!!

Check the voltage on the battery
I like the choice of music 🎶 I bought an immaculate 1-owner VTX 1800R 3 months ago, good machine. Not as much fun as a 1st gen V-Max but it'll do for now.
I changed the starter and put a new battery in mine and now you can hear the starter but it’s not engaging the motor to start?? Any thoughts
I've never replaced the starter on one of these but I'm assuming you probably have shims or something similar to make sure it's lined up, similar to a car? Sounds like the starter is just out of alignment if it's not engaging. Compare the old one and the new one side by side and make sure there are no minor differences. Remember, all of these parts are Chinese and very cheaply made.
Looks like a cool place
Yes! Ironically it's one of the safest cities in the United States according to statistics. There's just something about living next to the Franklin mountains and all the cool unique artsy things here that you won't see anywhere else.
Just heard about you guys on Sleeper Dudes channel and thought I’d come take a look. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Same here. ❤ Hi from England.

Good job mom (I don't know your name) The more you learn the more fun it gets.
I saw you on Sleeper Dude gift opening. So I thought I should check out, after all I'm a native Texan. In my book you have the important things for a successful youtube channel, a beautiful wife (don't worry I'm 70), a family, and you work on cars. I hope to see more from your channel. I live west of Houston and grew up in Coleman.
Thanks Alan!

Shell arotella motor oil for diesel engines has ZZDP zinc in their oil most guys run this in old cars
I recently heard that using the Arotella oil is a myth due to it containing a different type of zinc that isn't helping the flat tappet engines. It's not making it worse either but would be the equivalent of using any cheap motor oil w/o zinc. I prefer the Lucas oil for these flat tappet motors but the cheap alternative is the zinc additive available on Amazon.
@@SunsetProjectsTX thx for the update

Very "well rounded" mechanic. In whatever she decides to do I stand behind her.
Fun, ain't it ? 6 days ago my neighbor sold me his 1 owner 2002 VTX1800R, 35,000 miles, new tires +brakes, 3 grand, I'm still smiling I know you enjoy your bike, stay safe out there. P.S. How far off is the stock speedo ?
Congrats on the new toy!
I still ride my 02 1800c, I have thought about selling it, but $3k, that's very low for a bike this nice. I can't believe they are not going for much more. Maybe just because I paid $12,500 when it was new.
You definately get more bang for your buck with the VTX and Fury bikes! @@safaricartvideos
@@SunsetProjectsTX I remember back in 1999 paying $2,600 for a "good" 86 shadow 1100. Someone buying a vtx1800 in 2023 for just a few hundred more seems crazy to me. It is an amazing bike.
Yea it's mind blowing for sure! @@safaricartvideos
Appreciate y'all coming by!🤘🏼
Dude insulted the Japanese . Chinese wish they made anything as good as the Japanese. 😂
Yes, my bad.
I owned one of those bikes it was a great bike but I could not get a good sound from it no matter what kind of pipes that I put on it.
I've heard that before. I think my favorite pipes were actually a stock set cut down with no big baffles and new down draft ends welded on. A neighbor did it for my Honda Fury with the 1300cc motor.

Facts😂
Omg 😂😂😂😂
I get mine on , it's ride for 2 minutes and just turns off while riding. Been serviced 2 times , brand new carb. After it shuts off just ends up clicking a bunch . Help lol
That's a weird issue with a new carb. The clicking part is what confuses me. Sounds more like a charging / battery related issue.
Done everything sounds just like yours.. wants to but just won’t turn over. I have less than 30 hours
Try playing with the cable going to the accelerator, it may be turned too far out limiting the amount of fuel. You can adjust it where it meets the lever.
@@SunsetProjectsTX I tried that too
If you know fuel is passing through the carb then start checking all your electrical stuff, spark plug, wire, fuses. You might also replace the battery in your remote shut off switch. My remote doesn't have designated on / off buttons, just one button so it's hard to tell if I have the shutoff engaged or disengaged. Check the shut off relay too. Other than that I would smell the fuel and make sure it didn't go bad. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Good luck! @@eddieserna5494
Your video is not informative, dislike!!
Just picked up a 2005 VTX 1800c with 9000 miles on a couple weeks ago. Owned a 2002 VTX 1800R back in the day but had to sell it. Glad to have my baby back
Similar story myself...I had forgotten how much torque they have until I bought the 2nd VTX 10 years later!
You mean Chinese quad, Japan has real mechanical engineering, the Chinese don’t make hybusa
You mean Hayabusa.
